KIDDERMINSTER Harriers manager Jan Molby has escaped a touchline ban after a disciplinary hearing in Sheffield yesterday.

He was charged with bringing the game into disrepute following an incident that took place during Harriers' 1-0 LDV Vans Trophy victory at Doncaster last October.

Molby remonstrated with referee Mark Clattenburg following a late challenge on striker Colin Larkin.

Molby was found guilty of improper conduct for which he was fined £500 but not guilty of foul and abusive language.

It is the second time Molby has been before the game's ruling body in less than a year. He was fined £500 after being sent from the dug-out for alleged foul and abusive language during the match against Cardiff in February last year.
